Sebb commented on NET-630:
--------------------------

Is it necessary to deprecate the existing SubnetUtils?
This will force users to recode their applications.

In Commons we strive for compatibility whenever possible.

So for example getAddressCount() has been replaced by getAddressCountLong().
However users can still call the original method, which will give the correct 
result (unless it overflows).
